«Ión» is the Greek tragedy by Euripides, published by Ediciones Clásicas in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in the sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, where Ion, a young temple servant, sees his life altered upon discovering the truth about his origins. Euripides thus weaves together the themes of identity, destiny, and the role of the gods in human affairs.
The edition, published in 2001, includes an introduction, translation, and notes by Alfonso Martínez Díez.

Euripides was a Greek tragedian of classical Athens. Along with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he is one of the three authors of Greek tragedy whose name is ascribed to surviving plays. Some ancient scholars attributed ninety-five plays to him, but the Suda says it was ninety-two at most. Nineteen plays attributed to Euripides have survived more or less complete, although one of these (Rhesus) is often considered not to be genuinely his work. Many fragments survive from most of his other plays. More of his plays have survived intact than those of Aeschylus and Sophocles together, partly because his popularity grew as theirs declined: he became, in the Hellenistic Age, a cornerstone of ancient literary education, along with Homer, Demosthenes, and Menander.
